Sorry only watching occasionally and following the scoreline, was watching that bloody tiebreak that Nole lost. What happened?

 

[Denis]

Zverev wins...

 

[isabelle]

happy for Sasha but he has to play much better next round

I just got to work a few min ago. When I tuned in I was watching the end of the Sascha match. Didn't even know Novak was playing. But they hopped over to show the replay of the set point and he was down 6-4 in the TB. When he lost it, he smashed his racquet pretty good.

 

[Denis]

Novak needs to apply for the role of Father Christmas. Gifts the break back, after unloading a string of gifts in the second set.

 

[kskate2]

@Denis He won't lose to RBA the pusher will he?

 

[Denis]

RBA break Novak again. Downright aweful stuff at the moment.

 

[britbox]

Long way to go but he's down a break in the third.

Fixed that for you.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Novak does some good-old racket smashing after missing an easy drive volley at 6-6 tiebreak. He was up a break and already failed to convert two set points on RBAs serve.

Yeah that was terrible and costly. It wasn't even a drive volley. The ball bounced, which makes it easier. He just missed a complete sitter from well inside the service box, which is a shame because he had hit an incredible shot to set it up.

I wouldn't consider this much of an upset. Some people act like they haven't seen Nole play the last two years.

What makes you call RBA a pusher?

Come on Mox. We've had this discussion before in other threads.

I don't see it.

Those two things above your nose and below your forehead.

 

[DarthFed]

I know it's off topic, @kskate2 but tell me you didn't miss the JR show last night!?

 

[kskate2]

I was getting ready for my trip so I wasn't at home last night. But I saw some replays this morning on ESPN.

Was a hell of a game and a vintage JR finish
